Play chess wth the locals, great games!
Usually bustling with markets, street performers, skateboarders, sidewalk chess, food trucks, and not a moment of silence or peace… until you take a quiet walk with Gandhi through the magnolia trees. Read more.
Especially great at night when all corners of New York come together to hang out, dance, play chess, skate, perform...
Definitely worth checking out for its old-school charm and rivalry with the other chess establishments on Thompson Street. Read more.
A decades old chess store that was originally owned by a Russian grandmaster. Great for hanging out with chess enthusiasts, buying chess pieces, or learning how to play from world-class players.
Check out the huge variety of chess sets! So beautiful. My favorites are the Egyptian ones.
the newly renovated Park, you will see a lot wacko's (sorry creative's!), and also NYU students hanging, chess tables, a fun place to lounge outdoors

Defined by its giant white arch, the park is best known for its chess games, gorgeous fountain, and live musicians. It acts as a meeting ground for NYU students, artists, and neighborhood regulars.
great place to have lunch or post work cool out, out door library, yoga classes on the lawn, chess clubs, restaurants and just plain beautiful place to hang.
Come for the free yoga and dance classes during the week. It's also the best place to spend an afternoon playing ping pong or chess (or just reading while eating a sandwich from 'wichcraft).
Great place to go with kids in the summer...enjoy the library, carousel, chess, movies etc.! Good fun!
Masters of chess & negotiation are always sharply aware, prepared several moves ahead, with logical extrapolations other side's response--with contingencies in case things don’t go as expected.
Wednesday night tournament, U2000, rounds start at 7 PM, 30/90 then G60
NY (See) You don’t need to go to China to experience the Chinese culture. Come take a stroll in the park and experience everything from martial arts to little old men playing chess. Read more.
The amount of Chinese people lounging, singing, playing chess, whatever in this park is a serious glimpse into Chinese culture. Also, there's a soccer field in this park if you fancy.
Enjoy the soccer fields and chess tables, but don’t be surprised if a live dance troupe or chorus takes over Chinatown’s most popular park.
NYC chess during the day.
It's crazy that people don't mention the coffee here because their Verve beans espresso is off the charts! This place is a strange mix in the day. Chess school too?
Awesome music! very energetic atmosphere! Danced the whole night!
This is a great place to hang, whether u're having lunch, getting someone's phone number, chatting w/ powerful NYC politicians, chilling w/ the friendly squirrels, or getting beat by chess hustlers.

Great little park in the heart of Harlem. Fantastic history and lots of attractions from swimming, basketball, chess, and an outdoor theatre.
My favorite Pool! friendly staff family like atmosphere. love it
Check out the Mount Morris Fire Watchtower, the last of a series of watchtowers erected in 19th century New York City to help watch for fires.
I'm here all the time playing chess, look for the tall skinny guy. Bring it!
Chess with the sharks
Such a beautiful park to visit, specially if you have a dog! I love it!
Visit the Cloisters too. I think there are some cool old chess pieces on display here still.
Tranquil park with nice scenery. Many trails to run and jog...
The best place to forget that you’re in NYC is crammed with gardens, forests and other quiet nooks that are perfect for chilling out. No visit here is complete without a stop by the Cloisters. Read more.
Get the wine and get the chesse
Great low key spot to have wine with friends and some solid food to boot
We love to come to this cozy wine bar for happy hour, especially for the $1.25 oysters (through 7pm).
Chess tables make great lunch tables
At lunch time, this concrete playground surrounded by benches feels like SoHo's cafeteria. Tables are scarce & the no-sharing-w/-strangers rule seems to be in effect.
Girls happened here. Babysitter Jessa loses the girls in this park while planning to unionize the neighborhood nannies.
Be sure to visit Gramercy Park Flower Shop ;). And also great place to hang tasty foods and frozen yogurt
One of the cutest flower boy I did ever see ♥ and very charming too ;)
One of a kind pieces! A-List fav! Womens clothes & Accessories.
Wonderful, intimate venue to catch a show.
Amazing place or dinner and a show. great live acts, communal seating, food and bev minimum is $12. See incredible acts here in a small setting before they get too huge!
Catch the Happy Ending Series here, it’s the best reading series with a twist. Big names are required to take a risk onstage: Jesse Ball once taught the crowd how to steal a book from B&N. Read more.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
